I haven't read any JLA stories, aside from Tower of Babble. I would think that any JLA story would be OK, because it's a small cast, and I think they usually stay away from their private lives, focassing on superhero battles instead. Am I wrong about this?

Catwoman volume 2 (Brubaker's volume) would be perfect for someone looking to get into a character without having to know a whole lot of back story. But from your description, your friend would not like this book. Then again, if you have Selina's big score, or the first four issues of this volume, maybe she would like it.
